Hong Kong Wah Yan College (香港華仁書院), is a traditional boys' school in Hong Kong. It was founded on December 16, 1919 by Peter Tsui Yan Sau 徐仁壽 on 16 December 1919, an alumnus of St. Joseph's College and a former teacher of Ying Wa College and St. Joseph's College.
It became the first English school in Hong Kong founded by Chinese. The school name Wah Yan is derived from the ancestral home of its founder, Wuhua County 五華縣, and the character "Ren 仁" in his name.
It is currently located at 281 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. It has been run by the Catholic Jesuits since 1932.
The school joined the Hong Kong Subsidized Schools Council in 1922, which is one of the 22 schools commonly referred to as "traditional famous schools".
